Get ready! The ASI
Student Magazine is
going to be available
online periodically
and be jam-packed
with all the important
information about
what is happening on
campus! Your ASI
President, Travis
Wilson, said, “It’ll be
one of your go-to’s
for upcoming events
on campus.” Travis
continued, “Any stu-
dents eager to get
involved with the
campus are always
welcome to be stu-
dent representatives
on one of our ASI or
University commit-
tees. We’ll post these
opportunities in this
very magazine!” The
ASI Student Magazine
will also include arti-
cles of interest about
CSUSM students, the
campus, ASI, and stu-
dent organizations.
Remember: ASI is
here to serve you!
What is the ASI Student Magazine?
So...What is Associated Students Inc. (ASI)?
This seems to be a question on a lot of
students’ minds … and here’s our answer!
ASI is a non-profit corporation that is
funded solely by student fees and is an
auxiliary organization to CSUSM. There are
six different entities within ASI: the Board of
Directors (BOD), LGBTQA Pride Center,
Women’s Center, Campus Activities Board
(CAB), Corporate Office, and Campus
Recreation. ASI also provides support for
student organization banking and event fund-
ing, as well as student travel. Wooo! That’s
a lot! And we are all here ready to serve
you! Obviously that list doesn’t explain each
of the entities, so if you want to learn more,
look for more detailed descriptions later in
this magazine.
“It’ll be one
of your go-
to’s for
upcoming
events on
campus.”

the students, and en-

mate that meets the
educational, social, and
cultural well-being of
our students. The ASI
Board of Directors is
comprised of elected
student members who
are active participants
in the shared govern-ance of California State
University San Marcos
and directs all aspects
of the corporation.
